Richard C. Longworth on Peoria

Richard C. Longworth had some nice things to say about Peoria in the Midwsterner.

He is a Senior Fellow at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

"I spent some time last week in Peoria, a central Illinois city that deserves a good look from any Midwestern factory town trying to reinvent itself in the age of globalization. Not that Peoria has all the answers or has solved all its problems. But it's asking the right questions and coming up with a few answers."
